Tuesday Afternoon

Monday is named for the Moon. El Lunes en espanol.

Wednesday is named for Woden, somehow related to Mercury. El Miercoles en espanol.

Saturday is named for Saturn.

But what about Tuesday?

Tuesday is named for Tiw, a Norse god of War and Law. And in many places Tuesday is named for the planet Mars. Mars is the Roman god of war. El Martes en Espanol.

Monday Mourning

Monday is a good day, because I get a newsletter every monday morning, Coffee with Kevin Hogan. But it did not come this week until Tuesday. I guess thats why it wasn't such a good day for me. I wound up wearing black from head to toe, and while that isn't unusual for most people, I rarely wear black. It's not a very flattering color for me, so I usually only wear black skirts or pants. I have a black sweater, but never wore it until this year when it was just too cold at work and I needed several sweaters to keep warm.

When I left the house, I observed that I was wearing all black and felt a little down, so I realized I was in mourning. I guess I was in mourning for my weekend. They seem to go too fast. And the week flies by without my accomplishing anything I really want to accomplish....
